HOW INTELLIGENT ARE YOU? TAKE THIS TEST

While it may be difficult to objectively gauge exactly how smart someone is? Researchers have found some pretty interesting traits that appeared to indicate intelligence. ARE YOU READY FOR IT??

1. One sign is that you’re from a smart family. Studies conducted (Paul M.Thomson, UCLA,2011) on the brains of identical and fraternal twins found that the makeup of certain areas specifically those associated with language and cognitive skills was very similar suggesting that brain development and IQ are heavily influenced by genes.

1. and if you are the oldest child of your family you may have a slight intellectual advantage over your younger siblings. Researchers found that a family’s eldest had an average IQ 3 points higher than the next closest siblings but the difference is thought to be psychological due to differences in relationships between parents and children more than it is biological.

1. Have trouble getting it to sleep at night. Well, that might not be such a bad thing. Studies show that the higher a person’s IQ is the more likely that person is to be a night owl. Staying up late against the natural habits of most beings and those who are more intelligent tend to seek out novelty.

1. Don’t to be quick to rag on mom for signing you up for those piano lessons as a kid. There is solid evidence that shows that brains of musicians operate fundamentally than those of non-musicians. The areas of the brain used to process music are larger and more active in musicians. And music can also improve your mood and memory.

1. Surprisingly those who use recreational drugs have also been found to be more intelligent. NATIONAL CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT STUDY,2012 found that more intelligent children in the UK are more likely to grow up to consume psychoactive drugs like marijuana, cocaine, and alcohol than less intelligent children.

I guess smart people don’t always make the smartest choices and you…..
